Jiya faced fierce competition in her jazz solo category, but her efforts were commendable. She showcased impeccable technique, delivering her best performance to date.

Remarkably, little Elena, a mere 3 years old, fearlessly embraced her first major dance competition. Participating in both the lyrical and jazz improvisation categories, she claimed second place in lyrical. Her confidence on stage was truly impressive, as she flawlessly executed a beautiful ballet first position before and after her dance.

Miss Tylah's remarkable talent shone through as she secured 1st place in both her Lyrical and Neo-Classical solos. In recognition of her outstanding achievement, she was awarded a special Starstruck teddy bear and a weekend pass to the Australian dance festival, valued at $380!

Own Choreography Competitions

Showtime HMS Competitions, Performances , ,

With our Mid Year Concert cancelled and our Music Video finished we decided to bring back our private dance competition from 2020, Show Struck Dance Quest. This year we invited our friends at Academy Dance & Elegance to join us and invited Brooke, former owner of Star Struck Dance Studio to be the judge.

Students competed using their own choreography or their teacher choreographed competition routines. We divided the categories to ensure results were fair for everyone and the judging criteria varied depending on if the routine was self-choreographed or taught by a teacher. We saw some amazing routines filled with creativity and entertaining performances from both studios. We are very proud of all students who got up there and showed us their love for dance with the results they achieved.

Some of our students then went and entered their self-choreographed routines in to the State Dance Association Student Choreography Online Competition. We filmed their live performances at Show Struck and submitted them for the online competition.
